Well, pictographs are math. Cuneiform is one of the oldest kinds of writing. It is - contrary to pictographs - also an abstract form of writing: the horizontal and vertical 'scratches' do not form a picture of the meaning of the words. With pictographs, their meaning (or part of it) is reflected by the drawing that is made for each word.
Cuneiform is a writing system that uses wedge-shaped characters to represent words and syllables, while pictographs are symbols that represent objects or ideas using pictures or drawings. Cuneiform was used in ancient Mesopotamia, while pictographs have been used in various ancient and modern cultures around the world.
Cuneiform actually started as pictographs, but it was cumbersome to draw pictures with the reed stylus, so the stylus's shape was incorporated into the later cuneiform; wedge-shaped lines. It was quicker and overall more efficient.
Pictographs were stylized symbols representing objects or ideas in early writing systems. Cuneiform was a system of writing that used wedge-shaped symbols to represent sounds, syllables, and words in ancient Mesopotamia. Both were used to communicate ideas and record information.
Before cuneiform writing, Sumerians likely communicated orally through spoken language and possibly through symbols or pictographs. They may have also used gestures, drawings, and physical objects to convey information and ideas.
Sumerian writing used cuneiform (Latin: "wedge-shaped") characters that had developed from pictographs. This system never developed into an alphabet while it was being used to write Sumerian, or most of the other languages that adopted cuneiform writing (e.g., Akkadian and Old Persian). However, a true alphabet of cuneiform symbols was developed by the people of Ugarit to write their language, which was related to Hebrew. (Strictly speaking, Ugaritic cuneiform employed an abjad, which is a term for an alphabetic system that lacks vowels.)
Cuneiform is a Sumerian langue, while hieroglyphics is Egyptian. 1 uses pictographs, Cuneiform doesn't.

cuneiform but farther back, pictographs

Cuneiform became more abstract and changed from being just simple pictographs to becoming wedge-shaped lines.
